The doctors said they was going to give her massive amounts of morphine and sedatives and other drugs to knock her out)if she is even aware).

Of course they will. Terri will not die in pain. Truth be known, she'll die much like many do every day in this country, people who have no chance at recovery, and have and will never have a feeding tube inserted in the first place. Many here would have us believe that wasting away till death has never happened before. It has. I've seen it. I've understood it.

All of the sensitive souls on this forum who have dedicated so much heart to this should not torture themselves that she will be in any pain.

That said, I don't doubt this isn't the last twist in this debacle.

Thanks for your medical insite. Tell me about people who drink their own urine for surivival in catastrophes.

The brain wills to live. It's called survival instinct. Wasting away because of poison caused by organ failure is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than an otherwise healthy human body.

Her brain is going to send her warning after warning after warning - and it's called PAIN.
